I have used both of the spitfire 3x gen1 and gen2, I feel like the gen2 eye relief was much worse, but the big points that made me stay with gen1 was the reticle on the gen1 feels better to me. I can't complain, the gen1 is a great optic.
@@JUDGERAMBO Yeah I wasn't a fan of the gen 2, the horseshoe reticle it's very feint compared to the gen 1's reticle. I was shooting them both at 100-300 yards with a green field in the back, it was difficult to focus in on the gen 2.
I was hoping to hear you talk more on the reticle, how easy it is to see, and is it practical in shooting. And more on the lens say size, clarity, eye relief (how long actually?). So I'm a little disappointed. I have the Primary Arms 3x prism scope, which is also quite big and heavy.
Definitely curious how this stacks up against the Primary Arms GLx 2x Prisms. Similar size/weight but the PA has shake awake in addition to auto shutoff. I have a PA GLx 2x on my 7.62x39 AK, looking for something for my new 5.56 AK. Torn between the Vortex and the 5.56 version of the PA GLx. Big question is how does the glass compare?
The eye relief is terrible and the reticle super small and the bdc marks even smaller it’s also not daylight bright. I’m unhappy with my purchase and gonna go Eotech with that new mini magnifier
woah woah woah woah woah, hold up, i counted more than 5 shots per magazine there my canadian friend ;P all in all though, fantastic review, thanks man! appreciate all the work that goes into your videos! Got myself a Ruger 9mm PCC thanks to you! :D
There is no point it’s magnified by 3x. It has an etched reticle. So if your battery dies it’s solid. That’s one of the whole points of a prism, if you mounted BUIS they would be blurry and non exist due to the cowitness you have to put this all the way back next to the charging handle. This is literally advertised on the Vortex website just do some light reading.
Get an auto off model. I’m going on 1 1/2 years with my weekly shooter micro slide rider, (it’s on a Model 41, so it doesn’t actually reciprocate and the recoil is Standard Velocity CCI .22LR so it’s not like I’ve given it a beating).
